And I thought it was cold enough over here.

 

How do you seriously put up with that?

 

I think wite's putting up with it too.

 

Just gotta deal with it. I have night class tonight which I'll walk to, because it's quicker to do that than clean off my car, warm it up and drive to the nearest parking lot, then drive again.

 

I can very easily deal with -10. The wind is making it bad though. It physically hurts to walk around....my neck stings a bit.

 

When you've lived here for a while, you learn that ice and wind are the real b****es of winter.

 

This is still pretty f***ing cold, though. I walk to class with my hands in my pockets and no gloves, and I can't really do that for more than 10 minutes.

Generally I just don't go outside at all if it can be avoided when it's that cold. It doesn't ever get like that here on the east coast though.

I have to though.

 

Starting up the car was a process too. Didn't shift well at all.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be today, but it was still cold. Probably single digits all day with a pretty chilly wind.

 

Anyways, if you've been around it before, it's not hard to get used to it. Just make sure you wear a coat, stocking hat if necessary, and either gloves or warm pockets. It's really not terrible.

 

We were in Sioux City Monday night for a fraternity meeting and then we went to see WWE Raw at the Event Center. We got split up as the night progressed and a buddy and I were out looking for our ride home for 20 minutes. I was in a T-shirt because I left my coat elsewhere. That was f***ing cold, but I lived.

i spent half of today having a blast sliding up and down 159th st in a mustang.

I got tired of that crap in my 03 Neon so I got myself a Nissan Rouge. Has worked out much better in this wonder land.

so I lied and it's like -15. I'm just so numb to the cold anymore that I can't tell how cold it really is. It's going to be awesome when it's 20 degrees outside and it feels like heaven.

It's really weird when that first warm snap hits in the spring....and it's just like 70 but it feels like f***ing 85 since we're so used to the cold.

and all the snow melts and it's usually rainy in March/April...so there's lots of humidity to start the season... :lolhitting

It used to be like 48, and I'd be going outside with short sleeves on

My brother went to Chicago for 2 weeks for FedEx training. He took a rental and left his Mustang for me to use.....lol I'm not using it in this weather...I'll stick to my front wheel Ford Taurus.

I don't know how you guys put up with walking to class in that cold of weather. I mean, I had to walk about 15 minutes to class today in 12 degree weather (with the wind chill) and it was awful. I almost thought about stopping half way and going back home. I literally couldn't feel my face when I got inside. Do you guys cover your face or anything when it's in the negative degrees, or just suffer?

I use to have a paper route where I was basically outside all morning. I feel sorry for people with outside work....garbage men, mail men, paperboys...yuck. I would hate to go through that again

Nope. Walking around with a scarf covering my face looks weird.

 

Just the standard duds.....hat, jacket, hoody, tshirt, thin pair of gloves, jeans, socks and shoes.

 

Oh, and boxers.

my little brother wears two t-shirts, a hooded sweater unzipped, and basketball shorts outside. It was 6 degrees outside..WTF??

Why are you using the character who got capped in DieHard in your sig?

My Yiddish is a little rusty but I believe it's spelled "bubby" not "booby".

  • Author

imdb has it as "Bubi".

It's like my favorite movie, and I use that quote a lot with my friends.

Harry Ellis: Hans, Bubi, I'm your white knight!

I spelled it how I hear it....IMDB has it as bubi

Did they edit future showings of Die Hard?

 

I could have sworn that I saw a scene where the office glass is covered in blood etc. after he gets shot by Hans.

Have you seen some of the words they use in the quotes on IMDB? Often times they're not even close.
